04 - 18  AUI Negative Bias, Reverse Motion Enable/Disable 
      Factory Setting: 00
  Settings  00  No AUI Negative Bias Command 
    01  Negative Bias: REV Motion Enabled 
    02  Negative Bias: REV Motion Disabled 
  In a noisy environment, it is advantageous to use negative bias to provide a noise margin. 
  Pr.04-00 ~ 04-03, Pr.04-11 ~ 04-18 are used when the source of frequency command is the 
analog signal. Refer to the following examples. 
Example 1: Standard application 
This is the most used setting. The user only needs to set Pr.02-00 to 01, 02 or 03. The frequency 
command comes from external potentiometer/current signal on AVI, ACI or AUI.

Example 2: Use of bias 
This example shows the influence of changing the bias. When the input is 0V (4mA) the output 
frequency is 10 Hz. At mid-point a potentiometer will give 40 Hz. Once the Maximum Output 
Frequency is reached, any further increase of the potentiometer or signal will not increase the output 
frequency. (To use the full potentiometer range, please refer to Example 3.) The value of external 
input voltage/current 0-8.33V (4-17.33mA) corresponds to the setting frequency 10-60Hz.
